A cat at home needs less care than a dog. After all, you do not have to let it out every day, nor is it the case that a cat needs all kinds of courses for its behavior. However, there are certain costs that we see reflected in dogs and in cats, one of these types of costs is dental cleaning. Clean and good teeth are important for every animal. If this is not in order then your cat may just start having problems with his teeth. So a cleaning is necessary from time to time. You just wonder, how much does it cost? That is where we want to help you, read on to find out how expensive a dental cleaning is for your cat.
What does a dental cleaning for your cat cost?
If your cat has a lot of tartar and plaque in the teeth, you can start cleaning it yourself by brushing the teeth. You can then have the veterinarian look at your pet’s teeth. This way, the plaque will not cause inflammation and pain or loss of teeth of your pet. The cost of a dental cleaning for a cat depends very much on the veterinarian. Not every price is the same, this is because every veterinarian has different tools at their disposal and every veterinarian will do the treatment differently. The cost of this type of dental cleaning is easily €85. This is only an estimate, it is always possible that your veterinarian will ask a higher or lower rate for the cleaning of the teeth.
Of course, your cat’s teeth may be so bad that certain teeth need to be pulled. Ideally you don’t want that, but sometimes there is nothing you can do to fix it. Teeth pulling is more expensive than a normal cleaning, after all, that makes sense. The cost of pulling is generally between €90 and €200 depending on the number of teeth of course. If tartar has to be removed from your cat then the price of this cleaning is easily €100,-. So not so cheap!
Why clean teeth?
Some people wonder why it is important for your cat’s teeth to be clean. The reason is that the cat may suffer from dental problems if this is not done. So also in bad cases it can happen that the cat is going to lose its teeth, of course in this case you have lost a lot more. And of course still the fact that a cat needs its teeth to be able to eat, but that speaks a bit for itself.
Getting a cat insured, how do I do that?
So as you can see, you will spend quite a bit of money if you choose to give your cat dental treatment. It is also true that the total amount will be much higher if a few teeth have to be pulled as well. This causes people to be a little hesitant about this type of treatment. Of course, this is not a good thing; treatment is necessary. One way not to worry about the higher bill is to get pet insurance for your cat. Through this insurance, also known as cat insurance, you can get the expenses you incur for your cat back from the insurance company. That way you never have to pay a fortune to maintain your cat again, which is nice right?
